SPARTA
Celebrate the 20th Anniversary
of their debut album
WIRETAP SCARS
in Australia!
.
.
SPARTA formed from the ashes of seminal rockers AT THE DRIVE-IN who disbanded in 2001. Released in 2002 to huge praise from postpunk and hardcore audiences, their debut album Wiretap Scars filled the gap left by their former group and won over the harshest critics. The album features the single ‘Cut Your Ribbon’ and epic live favourites ‘Air’ and ‘Collapse’.
The album served as a reminder of how important Jim Ward’s backing vocals were to the sound of At the Drive-In. Previously known as a side man, SPARTA gave him the kudos to bring his voice and ideas to the fore – creating incredible records like Wiretap Scars.

“Wiretap Scars echoes the reckless beauty of the trio’s former band”
“The thunderous vocals of Jim Ward mixed with that beefed up guitar sound push Sparta closer to the fault line”
“Their first album Wiretap Scars bears all the traces of classic ATDI — razor-sharp guitar slashes, aggressively churning punk grooves and emotional lung-shredding vocals — along with darker textures, quieter passages, smoother performances, and slower tempos”

My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
